Chrysler Repair: 95 Chrysler Concorde:radio/abs quit together?, chrysler concorde, radio power


Question
My ABS and radio stopped working one morning when I went to use the vehicle.  It occurred to me this might be a fuse or electrical issue since these two functions ( ABS and Radio) are seemingly unrelated to each other.  I pulled out the ownwer's manual in an attempt to find out what the appropriate fuses were and where they're located.  However, the fuse looked in tact ( there were no visible break in the fuse for the radio.  Do All fuses have a  visible break in the wire when they blow?  Also, can you suggest which other fuses I may be overlooking.  Does ABS main have to be changed?  ABS main is located under the hood if I remember correctly.  Thanks.

Answer
Hi Alex,
I don't see a common source for the voltage supply to those to items. The ABS has 2 fuses in the power distribution center under the hood to consider: fuse C and fuse I. The radio power is supplied by fuse 2 under the dash which in turn comes from the ignition switch and the source to the switch does many other things as well so the power to fuse 2 has to be OK. So I would look at the three fuses to see if any of them might have a subtle crack in the internal wire, which may not be obvious visually so you might want to test them to be certain.
